just like anything there are a lot of skeptics when something new comes out
especially when it comes to technology and of course that's no different with blockchain
i think one of the biggest things we will see over the years to come is really the people who decided
to adapt and embrace technology like blockchain early on and how that affects their careers
and income in the future to come now i'm a numbers girl so let's break this down by what
it's valued at right now the global blockchain technology market size is currently valued at 5.9
billion dollars okay so yes that's a lot but where the numbers get really staggering listen
to this it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 85.9 from 2022 to 2030.
so i'm not someone who gambles or bets but if i was it would be on blockchain and also having
a career in that industry hey friends today we are going to be talking about some of the
top jobs in blockchain what you can do how you can get them and so much more
before we get into it though i want to introduce you to a platform which i have
been recently loving newton is canada's number one low-cost cryptocurrency trading platform
with high liquidity low spreads and over 70 cryptocurrencies to choose from one of the
things that really stood out to me about newton is just how transparent they are with their prices
if you are in the cryptocurrency world you know sometimes on platforms they can really
not be very transparent when it comes to pricing newton doesn't charge funding or
withdrawal fees so you can really fund and withdraw from your account for free also i
think it's really important to note because even for myself before i got into the world
of cryptocurrency or blockchain i thought that i would have to be an expert in it in order to
get involved or i would need to know absolutely everything but you really don't and i think that's
something that newton does a really great job of is making it easy for entry for anyone easy for
entry yeah easy for entry meaning anyone can get on the platform it's easy to understand and you
don't need to be a crypto worth to get on the platform and with newton you can buy and sell
on any platform from ios android your computer mac and have access to some of the best prices
for cryptocurrency in canada i've linked my newton referral code down below so make sure
to click on it go check it out and when you place your first 100 trade you'll get a 25
referral bonus credited to your account play around with it i have been absolutely loving it
i actually have some other widgets on my phone so i can keep track of different coin pricing and
where it's at and it's just been really helpful so make sure to go check it out
okay you know number one on the list has to be blockchain developer because i'm a developer and i
feel like you know we've got to pump us developers up and make it number one blockchain developer is
coming in at number one for some of the most in-demand jobs in blockchain and no when i
say number one i'm not referring to it's the other ones are lesser in demand i'm just listing off the
top jobs in blockchain and i really wanted to talk about blockchain developer first because of
it's definitely an area i've been interested in and started to explore i just think blockchain
is such an interesting world and it's it's not going anywhere let's just put it that
way so essentially blockchain developers are people who create applications for
blockchain some of the experience can include c plus python javascript and you don't need
to have specific blockchain developer experience to get into a blockchain developer role but having
programming experience is really important and then from there you can pick up solidity
and other pieces of blockchain development okay i have my computer here with me and i have on screen
at web3 career which has some amazing uh career jobs for a web 3 role so i'm going to search up
on this website to make it consistent the salary ranges for different jobs in blockchain and web3
so let's see what we have here the average yearly salary for a blockchain developer is
let's see where is it okay there's different price there's different salaries for different
companies but on average i would say it's about 1
120 to 130 u.s some are lower some are significantly higher so it really varies
based on company and experience but i will link web3 career down below so you can check it out as
well it's a resource that i've been really enjoying do you look at different salaries
and look at different job postings and they do a really good job with that okay coming in at number
two is blockchain architect and i realized as i'm going through this list it's going to be a lot of
traditional when i say traditional i mean jobs in the tech industry but we're just adding
blockchain on top of that so i understand that any job can be done in web 3 as well but it's focused
more on blockchain or web 3 technologies and that's really important to note too i think before
we continue on with this list because no matter what skills you have or what career path you have
there is a place for you not only in tech but also in web 3. and web3 is so it's still such a
infant infant yeah it's an infant it's a baby to some degree to some people it's you know
it's fully grown but to i would say the general population there's still a long way to go with it
and uh it's one of those things that i don't think people realize that there is a place for them
the more diversity in every aspect we have in web 3 better and i just really wanted to
highlight that because i think people think they need to have a 10 years experience or something
crazy to get into this no you can use the skills you have and just show an interest that you want
to learn and want to break into it more going back to number two which is blockchain architect
they are responsible for managing designing connecting and really organizing different parts
of the blockchain system this is a role i think is really interesting because you have to have a very
strong understanding about the blockchain about the blockchain system about the technologies you
are working with and it's a really interesting role because it's one that you need technical
expertise in but also expertise in blockchain so unlike you know blockchain developer where you can
land that role and then learn about blockchain as you go i think with a blockchain architect
you really need to have a strong understanding about blockchain before you can get to that step
the good thing is though usually not always but usually architects start out as software engineers
or software developers and then the next step is architect now on web3 careers they do not have
they do not have a architect let's see i don't architecture maybe they do oh there we go
okay architect senior architect is 200 000 then we have one for 190.
uh these are all senior architects as well keep in mind so solution architect 130 so you can see it
ranges a little bit here by the way these are all in usd um and they list their prices right on here
they're the salary right on here which is really nice so that is the second
one blockchain architect okay let's go to number three okay so coming in at
number three is something i think is really interesting and i think it's just going to
spiral into mad rocket and demand if you will which is a blockchain legal consultant and of
course there are so many with new technologies different legalities that come into play different
questions companies have kind of a gray area that needs to be resolved and having a legal consultant
is essential so while this is a non-technical role i really wanted to highlight it because
we'll see more and more of these everyday roles even with outside of tech keeping on coming in
to the blockchain in web3 world okay and for this one the legal consultant was not on web3
careers so i went on glassdoor i think this is significantly lower than what it actually would
be but um on glassdoor it says the average salary is 90 000 per year now i really think this is
not accurate i think it'd be much higher but this is what i'm going based on is glassdoor
okay i think at the end of the day we're we're seeing a pattern here really any role can be
implemented into blockchain so i think what you need to focus on rather than wondering can i break
into web3 can i like it break into blockchain the question is of course you can but you need to do
your knowledge or your training before you start applying to jobs in this industry so i'm going
to share with you now some top blockchain courses that you can explore some that are technical some
that are non-technical uh to have an understanding of blockchain before you start applying to these
roles okay i have my computer here and some courses up on screen so one of the ones that i've
heard a ton about and i actually started taking because i was really curious and kept on hearing
so much about it is the coursera course blockchain foundations and use cases and this is a course
that both developers and non-developers can take and it really talks about the foundational
aspects of blockchain what it is and really how to get started in it in a very friendly and uh
non what is the word it's not intimidating it's just very like easy to understand and anyone can
take the course another course that i have heard a lot of good things about is actually on udemy
which is more technical so it's called python and the blockchain technology and so of course this is
more for people who are looking for the technical career path and blockchain developers specifically
and i really like that it's done with python as well because python is so user friendly to uh
start coding with and even if you are either an experienced developer or a more junior developer
this is a course you can take the last one i want to highlight is from berkeley and i think it's
just a great course i mean it's a great course overall but i think what makes it stand out too
is the fact that you can put on your resume you took a course at berkeley and that definitely
does not hurt so berkeley has a course for blockchain fundamentals uh and it's a certificate
which is really huge too and it's hosted on edx so some topics that are covered include
bitcoin cryptocurrency blockchain technology architecture and so much more so i think this
is really interesting course as well and this is a course that you don't have to have any technical
experience to sign up for whether you are a technical person or non-technical person this is
a course that will do you really well okay i hope you enjoyed this video it was really fun getting
to have a candid really candid conversation about blockchain blockchain jobs courses to
take around it and just really how to enter the world of blockchain from a career perspective
i'm really curious to know are you interested in careers in blockchain have you already
gotten into one let me know down in the comments and i will see you all soon thanks everyone
you
